Title: Aaaahhh!!! Urgent Help Needed Please?
Post by: Donato on July 28, 2006, 06:41:13 PM
Seems the rotary gods are angry with me for trying to sell my car..between this problem and the broken headlight im going to pull my hair out!!

I had to take my dash apart to change the rev counter face, got it done, everything was working again, great, then had to disconnect and reconnect the fuel gauge. Got that working and then...

suddenly all the dash gauges stopped working, as well as the electric windows, and the radiator cooling fans have stopped working as well, the indicators aren\'t working but the hazard lights are...:2Mad

Everything else electrical seems to be working...

Please somebody help me!

sounds like you\'ve blown a fuse to me, have you got a multi meter ?

Checked all the fuses and can\'t see any that are blown, was thinking it might be an ECU#2, i know they can effect the windows and indicators, never heard of them effecting the speedo and cooling fans though! Also its a bit too many things to be effected by one fuse...

sounds like the "room" fuse ... they are usually raised up on their own in the interior fuse box

Dont forget that sometimes a fuse looks to be fine, when actually its blown!

Seriously? All those things on one fuse? I did check that fuse yesterday but maybe as Chris says it just needs replaced...

Wonder if that is whats wrong with mine?  I did check the fuses but perhaps one is gone that isnt obvious?  Ive emailed Pip to let him know, my car has been gone for over a week now, would like to get it at the weekend  :(
